A Royal Wedding in Kensington? While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be living in Kensington, they won’t be tying the knot in that city in Maryland. But in homage to Kensingtonians in the UK and Maryland, The Dish & Dram will celebrate the revolutionary union of the British and Americans with a watch party and other celebrations.

During the month of December, The Dish & Dram will pair a bottle of British Bubbly Fit for a Duchess, Court Garden Sparkling Rose, with two all American hot dogs topped with champagne mustard and crispy onions ($85).

They will continue the celebrations with Bangers & Mash at their new Sunday Brunch. This traditional British breakfast unites sausages and mashed potatoes ($18) for a hearty dish that’s a classic on tables throughout the UK. Cheer to brunch and the happy couple with a pint of Lowest Lord ESB. The Dish & Dram is the only restaurant in Maryland outside of Denizens Brewing Co tap room to carry this beer.

The Dish & Dram wedding party details will be announced as soon as the nuptial date is cast in stone.

About The Venue:

Malmaison opened in June 2013 on Washington D.C’s historic Georgetown waterfront. Located at 3401 K Street, NW, and housed in a majestically refurbished industrial warehouse reminiscent of NYC's Meatpacking district, the modern event space and cafe + pastry shop features the culinary talents of 2 Michelin star Chef Gerard Pangaud and Pastry Chef Ruth Stoltzfus.

Experience the sparkle of the season at Georgetown GLOW, the region's only curated exhibition of outdoor public light art installations. Set against the historic backdrop of DC's oldest neighborhood, it's a whole new way to shine.

The 2017 Georgetown GLOW invites visitors to re-imagine the season of light through public art. In its fourth year, 2017's Georgetown GLOW is running from Friday, December 8 through Sunday, January 7, with works lit from 5 - 10 p.m. nightly. Georgetown GLOW is presented by the Georgetown Business Improvement District.

For more details on the 2017 artists and their installations, visit GeorgetownGLOW.

The images are everywhere, from the Land O’Lakes butter maiden to the Cleveland Indians’ mascot, and from classic Westerns and cartoons to episodes of Seinfeld and South Park. American Indian names are everywhere too, from state, city, and street names to the Tomahawk missile. And the familiar historical events of Pocahontas’s life, the Trail of Tears, and the Battle of Little Bighorn remain popular reference points in everyday conversations.

Opening January 18, 2018, National Museum ofthe American Indian (NMAI) is hosting an exhibition of American Indian images, names, and stories that infuse American history and contemporary life.

Americans highlights the ways in which American Indians have been part of the nation’s identity since before the country began. It will surround visitors with images, delve into the three stories, and invite them to begin a conversation about why this phenomenon exists.

Pervasive, powerful, at times demeaning, the images, names, and stories reveal the deep connection between Americans and American Indians as well as how Indians have been embedded in unexpected ways in the history, pop culture, and identity of the United States.

About the photo above: Considered the most stylish of mass-produced motorcycle models, this 1948 Indian Chief is now on view in the museum’s Potomac Atrium. It will take up long-term residence on the Third Level when Americans opens this fall. From its origin as a bicycle brand exported overseas through its transition to a motorcycle line, the “Indian” name has signified American quality to foreign and domestic customers alike. This motorcycle’s fender ornament is an Indian figure with headdress. Indian Chief motorcycle on loan from the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, Birmingham, Alabama.

I wish I'd saved the photographs I'd taken in 1979, especially the ones of him painting in Carnac and clowning around the chateau with our art class. Capturing the rugged coastline of Brittany and the brilliant brushstrokes of William Woodward. As director of George Washington University’s MFA program in Studio Arts for more than thirty years, Woodward has mentored three generations of artists in the techniques of the great masters.

The Katzen Arts Center at American University is hosting an exhibition of William Woodward's paintings through December 17, 2017.

A third-generation native Washingtonian, Woodward is among America’s most sought-after and admired classically trained painters (the Florentine Accademia di Belli Arti, the Corcoran School, and The American University.) The recipient of multiple awards and commissions, Woodward’s works have been acquired by museums, as well as scores of corporate, public and private collections.

For the past two decades, the artist has delved into the rich history and aesthetic possibilities of the seven deadly sins. The master drawings and narrative paintings in this exhibition owe a great deal to the films of Federico Fellini, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and the commedia dell'arte tradition. Woodward tries to imagine, had these directors and actors been painters, how they might have depicted their subjects in whimsical and elusive ways rather than strident and explicit interpretations.

In creating The Seven Deadly Sins, Woodward is not preaching about sin. Rather, he wanted to paint pictures that no one, including himself, had ever seen before.
